Luann de Lesseps and Bethenny Frankel's friendship is anything but a cabaret.
The 59-year-old shared that the two are not on good terms despite her and the former Real Housewives of New York star's run-in over the weekend.
'After watching Bethenny’s video and still being blocked by her on social media, I realize she just used her daughter to get to me,' Luann told US Weekly on Monday.
The reality star added that there 'wasn’t a genuine reconnection' with the Skinnygirl founder.
Elaborating on their encounter in the Hamptons, Luann admitted that at first, she was 'really happy' to see Bethenny, 53, but soon after realized their reunion was disingenuous.

The Shark Tank alum posted a clip of Bryn and Luann's interaction on Instagram, to which the Countess confessed: 'To watch the video, it hurt my feelings.'
On Saturday, Luann and Bethenny bumped into one another at talent agent Jason Weinberg’s party and posed for pictures alongside actress Emma Roberts.
In Bethenny's video, which was shared on Instagram, Bryn and the Money Can't Buy You Class singer stand beside each other while the Just B podcast host is filming.
'What Bryn? I guess life is actually a cabaret,' the Bravo alum is heard saying as Luann hugs the 14-year-old.
Fans freaked out in the comments section over this reunion, with one user writing, 'The way we absolutely LOVE THIS! Didn’t have a reconcile with Lu on my bingo card,' while another said, 'I NEED ANDY AND A CAMERA.'
However, in response to Luann's claims, a source close to The Apprentice alum revealed to Page Six, 'Bethenny just wishes Luann was drinking a Mingle Mocktail and wearing Chanel,' - a reference to both Bethenny's wine brand and her infamous saga with the fashion house.
'She wishes Luann the best summer,' the insider continued, 'and says she looks "Forever Young."'
After the party, Bethenny dove deeper into their interaction in a TikTok video.
'So, I see Luann, and Bryn gets all devious,' she explained. 'My friend Mark is like, "Just say something." Why not, right? And it is also a good example for Bryn. We have to be good examples. So, I basically said, "Hey, congratulations" and Bryn is there which is a great bridge and she'd be a great diplomat because she bridged my relationship with my mother too.'

'Luann hugged Bryn.' Bethenny continued. 'We had to do it on social media, obviously, because if it didn’t happen there then it didn’t happen anywhere... That was nice. Just clean. She texted me and was like, "We are like some discombobulated family"... So that was pleasant and it's fun because when I saw Jill [Zarin] on the plane, the fans go crazy. Like people love that.'
Giving a nod to the American Horror Story star, the mom-of-one added, 'Emma Roberts doesn't even realize that she was part of a moment, I'm sure. She was there for the whole thing.'
Bethenny concluded the story: 'Emma Roberts is more famous than any of us and a real actress and she's in the picture with us! It was like Where's Waldo? Like where is Emma Roberts there? It was just so funny. It was so funny.'

The Countess shared she would never want to film with Bethenny again: 'I don’t think she’d come to the table in any case. … I’m not a person that lives in regrets. I think everything happens and I loved all of our fights. It was so good'
The pair have notoriously feuded throughout their time on the original RHONY series before seemingly patching things up in 2019
Meanwhile, Bethenny and Luann have notoriously feuded throughout their time on the original RHONY series before patching things up in 2019.
However, in 2023, things turned sour when the Crappie Lake star didn't side with Bethenny during her fight to unionize reality television stars.
'Now, back to Bethenny. You know, listen, why bite the hand that feeds you?' Luann asked the audience during a December 2023 cabaret show. 'You know, just go off into the sunset. You [Bethenny] make millions and gazillions of dollars. If you claim you do, then why are you still harping on us? Why are you talking about us?'
And back in May, she made it clear she wasn't looking to clear the air anytime soon after naming a former cast member she wouldn't want to film with again.
'Probably Bethenny, to be perfectly honest,' she told US Weekly. 'I don’t think she’d come to the table in any case. … I’m not a person that lives in regrets. I think everything happens and I loved all of our fights. It was so good.'
